...........RECEIVED THIS CARD ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO.......





I watched an ant climb a blade of grass this morning. When he reached the top, his weight bent the blade down to the ground....Then twisting his thorax with insectile precision, he grabbed hold of the next blade. In this manner, he traveled across the lawn, covering as much distance vertically as he did horizontally, which amused and delighted me.
And then, all at once, I had what is sometimes called an "epiphany," a
moment of heightened awareness in which everything becomes clear. Yes, hunched over that ant on my hands and knees, I suddenly knew what I had to do.................................


QUIT DRINKING BEFORE NOON....

Yeah, this proves that ants are too complicated for Fuckya, so maybe the pick-up stix are better, get the kind with the "safety" tips, not the 'pointy' ones...the only way I was ever able to not drink before noon was to sleep until 1 pm.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!! So profound. :)
Ya know, since I quit drinking I have zero patience for sloppy/boring/annoying drunks. Unfortunately I know a few. Nice folks when sober. Irritating as shit when drunk.
I had an incident over the weekend with a friend and her annoying drunk of a boyfriend visiting. I tried to be tolerant and nice and everything. Then I kicked him out of my house and told them he is not welcome here any more unless he is 100% sober (Like THAT ever happens.)
And you know what? That felt really, really good!

Ah, yes, but the ant does experience life's peaks and valleys, not just the mundane.

I used to have a neat black cat who liked watching the ants.
She would also attack my feet when I tried to sleep at night. I was seven years old, and I would cry. Other than the foot-attacking she was a very nice cat. Her name was Betsy, as in Betsy Ross.
